Inside the Board Room:
There are a handful of bad teams playing bad teams on the board and generally those are games to shy away from. However, the Twins and Rays have both been playing excellent baseball in recent weeks. Today's line favor the Rays because Tampa Bay is 32-21 at home this year. But, tonight they send Jeremy Hellickson to the hill. The 23 year-old will be making his MLB debut after a strong season at Triple-A Durham, where he has posted a 12-3 record and under 3 ERA. However, the Major Leagues are a long way from North Carolina and the Twins are sending Carl Pavano to the mound. Pavano is 13-6 in the MAJORS this year and the Twins have won 9 of his last 10 starts.
Take the experience and the Twins tonight
